Rabbis is ge peace

TIHE PRESIDENT of the Chicago Board of Rabbis issued a statement this week saying religious leaders have "a duty to call for a complete solution" of the Palestinian question. "We have ignored all too long PLO statements that lews are to be driven ito the sea, or the extremist position that no Palestinian entity exists," said Rabbi Joseph Tabachnik. Ex- statements on either side of the question are to be condemned by "all people of good will," he said. "We deplore all acts of terrorism, whether it be the death of innocent Israelis, gunned down by Arab ter- ' In on their way home from religious services, or the recent acts of terror by an extremist group against the mayors of Nablus and Ramallah," he said.
